Except between the ears of some wannabe QRO types. Ham lore has always
stressed running tubes well over ratings...read old QST's etc. 
Only recently has that method been shot down since decent test equipment
is now available to mere mortals.
Yes, there are still many meatheads out there that will always try to get
a KW out of four 811's but they are either finding a new hobby ( or
returning to 27 MHz) or getting educated once they get on the air and
peer pressure sets in.
